Morning cycling

Let me be absolutely honest. The sole purpose of this post is to provoke envy and longing sighs...

The topic is my morning cycle rides. Finally, it has become to cold for swimming. Instead, Im cycling 15-20 km in the mountains most mornings. The rides are absolutely fantastic and makes it very hard to imagine life without that habit...

 I usually start at 6.30 am along with the staff's exercise.

 First view point: The Wall - the greatest rapid of Ganga

 I love the bonmots along the way - not least the handpainted that often includes some Indian spelling variations..

 The monsun is rather brutal and every year some parts of the roads are washed away.

 Point of return most days: Daniel's Dip (rapid) and Kaudyala (village)

Yup, it was me.

 Another sign - how would anyone want to rush through the beauty of this valley.

Breathtaking part 1

Breathtaking part 2 

Cows doesn't need much space as long as the got a good view... 

Some mornings I stop at a dhapa for a nice cup of morning chai. 

Steamingly hot and freshly made

Downtown Byasi means almost home at Atali.

 And of course - monkeys. It's been a while since I found them fascinating - they're basically just a hazzle.

On the top, behind the trees, Atali's hiding and Im back home...

The End - jealousy begin!
